An Actress with passion

We often see people portray characters with mental illness, without actually having an illness; it’s all a part of acting. However for this film, actress Halle Berry wanted to deliver a message to the world, and fought heartily to prove that message. The article reports that the film had been planned since the 90’s, and only just recently was finished and brought to the spotlight. The film itself is about a woman suffering from multiple personality disorder, a role that Berry claims to have enjoyed playing. While many people take a role for simply the money, Berry seemed very into the role, and very ready to make the sacrifices for the character necessary. This shows how strong some actors, or especially in this case, actresses are when it comes to their roles in films.
